Dog care tips for Adelaide
Keep your dog comfortable through Adelaide's hot, dry summers and mild winters.
Extreme heat days
Adelaide has some of Australia's hottest days. On total fire ban days, avoid bushland walks and keep dogs indoors during peak heat.
Beach safety
Adelaide's gulf beaches are generally calm but check for blue-green algae warnings in warmer months before swimming.
Snake season
Brown snakes and red-bellied blacks are active from October to March. Keep dogs on trails and away from long grass.
